ACFA 11/28/23 vs Hawkbrother

Описание: Armored Core For Answer PvP
vs hawkbrother. good games man!

loved having an opportunity to have this fight, but man i really need more practice. there's just a lot that I need to work on, from tanking, backpedaling, to CQC.

for tanking/backpedaling, my biggest issue is that I do an average job of tracking targets. i struggle especially versus someone who can rapidly change verticality while maintaining excellent horizontal play. there's no easy way to improve here except through even more tank v lw experience, and in general simply playing more. eyes on the radar to check vert and track!

for CQC, again weaknesses but I can't identify any of them concretely other than that I do a poor job of "sticking" and maintaining proper distance after a crossup. it is terrifying how hawk can cross me up as a tank while maintaining ~200 horizontal distance, something-something i should work on the "lotus-pattern". there's also the problem that I need much stronger EN management, i.e. more consistent second stages, and better timed chainboosts.

there's a ton more "wrong" with my gameplay that I could improve, but these are the highlights that I can easily see.

also most importantly, i should try to get some better sleep. any progress i make will be hampered by a mediocre sleep schedule...
